O'BRIEN WILL DIE GAME.
HE WILL REFUSE TO OBEY RULES
APPLIED TO CRIMINALS.

A Plank in a Cell 6xS His Bed at
Tullamore-United Ireland Cries for
Vengeance--The Cabinet Will Stick
to It's Policy of Suppression.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.-United Ireland asserts
that secret circular was issued by the
police authorities to the forces at Mitchells
town before the meeting on Sept. 9, at
which the police fired on the people, urging
vigorous suppression OF Nationalist meet
ings and instrucuing the police not to give
way to or compromise with the leaguers.
The cell in Tullamore Jail which Mr..
O'Brien has been placed in is by 8. He
slept last night on plank bed. He has given
warning to the Governor of the Jail that he
will refuse to do menial offices, wear prison
garb, or associate with criminals. The
governor will await official notification from
the General Prisons Board before enforcing
their decision that Mr.. O'Brien should be
treated as an ordinary prisoner. Mr..
O'Brien still wears civilian clothes, and is
in cheerful spirits.
United Ireland to-day contains two col
umns of reports of meetings of suppressed
branches of the national league. In an edi-
torial it characterizes the removal of Mr..
O'Brien to Tullamore Jail as AN outrage,
and says it was done in behalf of the land
lords. Henceforth, it says, the people will
make landlords hostages for Mr.. OBriens S
safety. The plan of campaign will become
not merely the tenants weapon of defense,
but an instrument of vengeance. 1t says:
"Will Irishmen remain quiescent and not
raze his torture house to the grounds Please
God, not quite. II Mr.. O'Brien is harmed,
for every hair of his head Irishmen will ex-
act compound vengeance"
THIRTY PERSONS SUMMONED.
Thirty persons have been summoned
under the crimes act in Ballyhannis to an
swer charges in connection with evictions
A majority of those summoned are young
girls Messrs. Pyne and Gilhooly, National
ist members of Parliament, have also been
summoned, the former for melting resist
ance to bailiffs at an eviction at Schrahan,
and the latter for advocating a boycott at a
league meeting at Schulz.
THE CABINET MEETS.
LONDON, Nov 3-A meeting of the Cabi-
net was held to-day. Mr.. Balfour, who re-
turned from Dublin yesterday, was present
He looks ILL.,
The Cabinet resolved to continue its
present vigorous policy in Ireland,
especially as regards speeches at proclaimed
AAOOOiASo.
The Home Rule Union of London at a
meeting this evening adopted a resolution
expressing sympathy with Wilfrid Blunt
and Mr.. OBrien and resolved to continue
the agitation in Ireland with the aid of
English speakers. Shaw Lefevre in moving
the resolution entered strong
protest against the governments
treatment of Mr.. Blunt which he
said was as unjust as it was un-
lawful. He himself had gathered from his
visit TO Ireland in 1881 that the disturbances
We're Gue solely TO unjust landlords He
considered the Woodford meeting thorough
ly justified, and had he been in Ireland at
the time he would have gladly attended it, A
letter was read from Mr.. Morley, in which
he protested against the reckless exultation
of the Ministerialists speakers and writers
over the violent acts committed by the Irish
executive, and expressed the hope that the
legality of the suppression of the Woodford
meeting and the arrest of Mr.. O'Brien
would be thoroughly tested by the Home
Rule Union.
